Parents Weekend
Parents Weekend 2009: October 2-4!
Parents Weekend 2009 is October 2-4. This is a wonderful opportunity to actually see your student once he or she has gone off to college. The student has been at UNL long enough to be able to tell you how things are going, what classes are like, where classes are located and update you on new friends that have been made. You can see for yourself how things are going and visit the student's residence hall room. We know it is sometimes hard to actually see your student once he or she goes off to college - so this is a weekend set aside specifically to give you a chance to catch up. During the weekend, you will have an opportunity to do some fun activities as a family, meet other University families, visit with some faculty and staff and learn a little more about the University. We hope you will be able to join us.
